loving heart. ~

At that elusive moment when we transcend our ordinary performance and feel in harmony with something else—whether it's a glorious sunset, inspiring music or another human being—our studies have shown that what we are really coming in sync with is ourselves. Not only do we feel more relaxed and at peace, but this entrained state increases our ability to perform well and offers numerous health benefits. ~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin, HeartMath Solution
"Rhythm is the soul of life. The whole universe revolves in rhythm. Every thing and every human action revolves in rhythm." Baba Tunji
Music has charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. - William Congreve
If you are able to discover your own keynote or chord and play it over gently to yourself, you will revive as if by magic. Your keynote can be ascertained by listening to some good music. When the note is played it will send a thrill right through you. - Vera Stanley Alder
The power of music to integrate and cure. . . is quite fundamental. It is the profoundest nonchemical medication. - Oliver Sacks "Awakenings"
